[governance] Caucus Statement: another proposal

[Laina Raveendran Greene]

Ditto. Agree with the three basic points, although agree with someonelse (I
think Avri) who pointed out that it should not be posed as a protest even
before the fact. A statement of principles as a way to move forward would be
best and agreed with Parminder that IGC could potentially play a role
forward for IG.

(Resending, as my mail somehow did not make it. Or did it? Not to me.)

Just FYI: My recent silence does not imply I do not endorse the general
effort and the direction of the statement - quite to the contrary. I just
have to finish some other business before coming to Athens. I guess several
others have the same problem. ;-)

So, whoever has time to work on this: Please go ahead with the statement and
try to make it an agreed IGC statement by all means. Parminder's proposal
sounds good to me. No opposition over a defined period of time implies
consensus.

On the process: The "calling rough consensus" function of any coordinator is
only needed if there are dissenting voices, right? That's why it's called
"rough". If nobody objects, I find it hard to not move forward "as the
caucus".

Best, Ralf
